Adding recursive find for library references

           Summary: Adding recursive find for library references
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.25
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: toddgee@yahoo.com


regarding the Catalina class loader and how it searches for libraries to load
classes from:

It would be nice if .jar files under the $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib (and, for
that matter, an application's WEB-INF/lib) directories could be grouped into
subdirectories.  

For instance, when using several frameworks, these directories can get quite
cluttered.  It would be nice to have something like the following:
$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib/
      hibernate-vx.y/
          <hibernate jar files here>
      struts-vx.y/
          <struts jar files here>

dig?  I looked thru the servlet spec and it doesn't speak to how a container
manages it's shared/common libraries (and there isn't any verbage to discuss the
structure of a WEB-INF/lib directory either...)
